You have beautiful garden, Sara. Love your pics. Helen

Thank you so much

Here's another picture of Aloha, it's so pretty this year, this shows better how it looks, even though it's a partial shot. I've had this bush since 2002 and I don't recall the blooms being this large. I've always loved it, but this spring I'm more than pleased with it!

Beautiful! Love that DICK CLARK! And your ALOHA is pretty darn spectacular! Hope mine gets like that one day. I just moved it from a too-shady spot to a 20" pot at one of the legs of my bird feeder pergola. It's gonna have a bunch of potted climbers going up all 4 legs. I hope it ends up looking good when they all grow up and over.

Aloha is just stunning with the white trellis! I am in awe of all your gorgeous roses. You are definitely talented.

Love those pics! Picture perfect wow! :-)

I also like your first pic. When you first planted it, I could quite see where you were going with that design. Now that the roses are more mature and fuller and more bloomiferous, I can see--and it is beautiful! Good job, sara.

The other blooms are lovely also. : )

Kate

Sara-Ann, so many beautiful blooms! What a treat to start with that first picture, followed by the close-up shots! Just georgeous!

Wow Sara! Your roses look gorgeous and your gardens so beautiful. Judy

Thanks so much everyone, I appreciate the compliments. Kate, when I planted those roses, I wasn't sure where I was going with it either. Pink is definitely the dominate color right now. Beth, hope your Aloha gets lovelier every season. I think there are so many talented people on this forum when it comes to growing beautiful roses, I feel truly humbled by you saying that Jasmine, thanks. All of you have gorgeous roses yourselves and I love seeing your pictures too, so I hope you share many of them during the upcoming season.

Sara_ann, Thank you for sharing images of your beautiful healthy roses! The first image (front yard bed) has some of my favorite color combinations. I believe that I see Pink Peace, but what are the other roses in that bed; if you do not mind sharing?

Lynn

Thanks so much Lynn. Yes, Pink Peace is in there. The pink one in the foreground is Bewitched, then Tiffany has lots of blooms too. This bed is a mixture of colors, but the pink ones are the first ones to really be blooming. Perfume Delight is just beginning to bloom, then I have Tropicana, Fragrant Plum, JFK, Midas Touch, Mellow Yellow and Chrysler Imperial, It can look quite different, depending on what's blooming, but it is colorful.

Sara, I was also going to ask what you had in your front bed and now I have the answer. Absolutely stunning at the moment. Please share when the others start blooming. Absolutely stunning at the moment. Wonderful picture of Love Song - it look's so soft!

Wowzers!!!! GORGEOUS!!! AND!!! BEYOND!!!

Every flower is huge and perfect. Swoon!!!!!

Keep the pictures coming!!

You have created a beautiful garden. Your roses are so plentiful and lush. I bet you spend hours and hours in your garden and it shows! Can`t wait to see more garden shots. Lesley

Sarah, you make me rethink the whole roses-in-pots-only concept! Stunning collection.

-Adrian

I do appreciate the kind words, I do enjoy this rose hobby very much, just ask my DH! Adrian, I grow lots of roses in pots, both ways work good for me. I planted ten hybrid teas and two floribundas in pots a few weeks ago, they have really taken off, can't wait for them to bloom. The varieties are Cinnamon Dolce, Heirloom, Grande Amore, Memorial Day, Sheila's Perfume, Angel Face, Grande Dame, Melodee Parfumme, Paradise, Michelangelo, Moonstone and Grande Dame.
